Mangiapane - A waterbug. Great draft pick. Could end up exceeding expectations. Dangerous with the puck.
Kylington - Showed his escapability a few times, his skating is just absurd. Will be exciting to see how he progresses.
As mentioned, Backlund line was the best line. Gaudreau was Gaudreau. Brodie, Brodie.
Engelland - Still a black hole, unfortunately (exoected nothing but...) He just doesn't have puck skills and he and Brodie were pinned a lot, which is silly given his partner is in the top-30 of all NHL defencemen.
Granlund - Wanted to see more. Continues to underwhelm. Ditto Shore and Poirier.
I'll write a little more later.

Johnson? Who is that? Sounds more like the guy in the red shirt from Star Trek.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
